Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): Iranian Foreign Minister Seyyed Abbas Araghchi stated this morning (Monday) that negotiation is different from bullying and giving orders.
Stating that Iran's nuclear energy program has always been and will be completely peaceful, he reminded: Therefore, there is basically no such thing as its "potential militarization."
According to media reports, Iran's permanent mission to the United Nations also stated clearly last night that negotiations to dismantle Iran's nuclear program will never be realized. Adam Buehler, Donald Trump's special envoy, said on Sunday, March 19, that it would not be difficult for the United States to help Israel destroy the Islamic Republic's nuclear program.
The Iranian foreign minister also stated: We will not negotiate under pressure and intimidation. We do not consider such negotiations to be even considerable, whatever the subject.
He stated: Negotiation is different from bullying and giving orders.
According to media reports, Ayatollah Imam Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, stated in a meeting with Iranian regime officials on Saturday night, March 19, that the insistence of some bullying governments on negotiations is not to resolve issues, but to impose and impose their own expectations. The Islamic Republic of Iran will definitely not accept their expectations.
Talks with 3 European Countries
The head of the Iranian diplomatic service referred to the talks with the three European countries of Britain, France, and Germany, which have been held four rounds so far, and reminded: We are currently consulting with the three European countries - and separately with Russia and China - on equal terms and with mutual respect.
He called the goal of these talks to explore ways to create greater trust and transparency regarding Iran's nuclear energy program in exchange for the lifting of illegal sanctions.
According to media reports, the latest round of these talks with the political leaders of the three European countries was held on February 26 on the sidelines of Araqchi's trip to Geneva to participate in the 58th session of the UN Human Rights Council, with the presence of Kazem Gharibabadi.
Araqchi also said today: In the past, whenever the US has treated Iran with respect in its discourse, it has received mutual respect, and whenever it has taken a threatening stance, it has faced Iran's confrontation. Every action is forced to be reacted to.
According to media reports, US President Donald Trump, who recently claimed to have sent a letter to senior Iranian officials for negotiations, made threatening statements, claiming: We have two ways to deal with Iran. One way is military. The other way is to reach an agreement. I want an agreement. I do not want to harm the Iranian people or this country.
According to media reports, Iranian Foreign Minister Seyyed Abbas Araqchi previously stated explicitly that Iran will not negotiate with the country over its nuclear program under the maximum pressure of the US government and the imposition of sanctions, and said: As long as the US policy of maximum pressure continues, we will not enter into direct negotiations with the US.
